The Latitude and Longitude have to be in decimal form (you may have to
experiment a bit with +- depending on where your figures are coming
from), tDist is the viewing height in metres and tSpeed is an
arbitrary number from 0.1 to 5, 5 being instant.

Has the launch command smartened up to launch documents to already open

The launch command has some peculiarities, but if you have a look at my

Alex,
Agreed.
This is not how I expected the launch command to behave either. It may be a
cut-throat measure to prevent OS's that create multiple instances of an app
from draining memory. But there should be (imho) an improvement to launch to

Again, thanks to all for your help in this problem. When I
try answer
fileTextEdit; put it or answer fileTextEdit.app; put it, I get the
Pick window with the Desktop hilited.
First of all, it's not:
answer fileTextEdit
OR
answer fileTextEdit.app; put it
it's:
answer file
If I navigate back to the
Applications folder in this Pick window, none of the applications
are clickable, i.e. they are dimmed!
Try this:

Then fiddle with the result as needed.
